Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, a multifaceted phenomenon spanning four continents and over four centuries. With millions of Black Africans forcibly migrated to the New World, this period marked one of the most meticulously organized systems of slavery in human history. Over 90 percent of these individuals endured harsh conditions on plantations and were subjected to severe brutality by European colonizers. Examining the political and economic dimensions of this brutal episode of human history, this chapter elucidates the profound impacts of chattel slavery on Africa, the Americas, European powers, and the global landscape. Furthermore, it investigates the factors leading to the eventual abolition of the slave trade and slavery across European colonies by the mid-nineteenth century.
